The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.

The Trilene knot / ˈ t r aɪ l iː n / is a multipurpose fishing knot that can be used for attaching monofilament line to hooks, swivels and lures. It resists slippage and failures. [1] The knot was apparently in use at least as early as 1975 when it was included in Tom McNally's Complete Book of Fishermen's Knots as the "double-looped clinch ...
This type of fishing line is expensive, sometimes four times the cost of equivalent monofilament. This can become a considerable expense, especially considering that the line is so thin that one needs more of it to fill a reel spool. Sometimes, a backing of monofilament or other line is used under the braided line on the spool. [3]
Fishing line with hooks attached. A fishing line is any flexible, high-tensile cord used in angling to tether and pull in fish, in conjunction with at least one hook.Fishing lines are usually pulled by and stored in a reel, but can also be retrieved by hand, with a fixed attachment to the end of a rod, or via a motorized trolling outrigger.
A Bimini twist loop is stronger than the line itself. It is one of the rare knots that does not weaken the line in which it is tied. [citation needed] It is a simple method of doubling your fishing line in order to prevent chafing or to create the necessary loop in order to attach a wind-on leader without using strength in the mainline. For use ...
Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water at a consistent, low speed. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e.g. when fishing from a jetty.
A trotline is a heavy fishing line with shorter, baited branch lines commonly referred to as snoods suspending down at intervals using clips or swivels, with a hook at the free end of each snood. Trotlines are used in commercial angling and can be set up across a channel , river , or stream to cover an entire span of water.
